Partially verified: the curator re-read none of the cited sources; S3, S1 rest on the producer's pinned reading. Two openly readable sources list cues that attribute a shot to a character. Branigan's Element 2 gives indicators of a look (eye, head or body movement, a flashlight beam, a changed angle or distance, a camera move, speech, off-screen sound, music, shot duration). Ergo's footnotes add shot-internal cues for a POV shot with no glance shot (mask, onlooker-like camera movement, diegetic breathing, character-linked music) and note that framing can signal a character's attention. Both warn that a cut with no clear looker is ambiguous (Branigan's Psycho tray example).

Curator qualifications: Partially verified: the curator re-read none of the cited sources; S3, S1 rest on the producer's pinned reading. Curator GET 2026-10-23 of the sources not re-read (mechanical source evidence, not semantic verification): S3: HTTP 200, bytes equal to the producer pin; S1: HTTP 200, bytes differ from the producer pin.

Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
